I know she may want to dance with somebody, but I want our rink to be a jungle. Baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Whatever. If these grownup men can't get self-motivated to play their arses off by the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars they are making, I don't know what to think. A little bit of fake noise from places off of the playing surface shouldn't even factor into their gameplay. Make some noooo-iiiissee! Barf.

NewbieCanuckFan Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Chanting "Fire Gillis" in the arena had some role (my guess) in the decision to terminate his employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motivation, Encouragement and Appreciation.... Its like saying your boss giving your a pat on the back is ridiculous because you get paid...? The amount they are paid should be irrelevant.... Damn I would like for you to see a live football (soccer) game.... You may just change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah why do NHL teams need arenas with 18,000 people, why can't they just use a community rink with 100 seats, man the excitement they would feel to play....

JayCanuck10 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Okay, my take on the arena experience; No more 'Make some nooooise!', replace it with kickass songs like "The Immigrant Song' and other rock and roll soundtracks. I heard someone say the same thing at the risk of sounding like a grandpa, he's not. Rock and roll songs bring out the excitement, craziness, and intimidation out of us. Secondly, let people bring in airhorns, firecrackers, huge flags, you name it, they're all welcome. Ok, fireworks should be reserved for game-winning goals in OT. Oh, and invite local bands to play their heart out dammit, I'm here for some entertainment, not to be placed in a senior's home! Small rinks in Sweden are beating us in that regard, like how embarrassing is that?! And most importantly, TURN UP THE GOAL SONG! I can't hear a goddam thing! Oh, and a bonus: have people win prizes for being the best-dressed, the loudest, and/or having the most creative signs. This should overall improve fan experiences and kill the notion of having to be silent and on the phones all game long. This is my two cents, what do you think?

There's a definite advantage to home "field/rink" advantage. Sad that people have to be guided into that, but it definitely helps the energy level.

But I think a lot of it has got to do with the policing at Rogers... or at least according to other fans going to games... @debluvscanucks am I right, you've been told to tone it down with the cow bell? Others have also told stories about the stewards telling people to tone it down.... It's unfortunate, as Rogers should be turned in to a fortress, oppositions hate to come to.... and the home team loves...

Nothing against any white collars here, but our lower bowl seems to still be made up of suits using hockey ticket to close deals. Go golfing ffs. Police the really obnoxious drunks, but hockey games are supposed to be loud. My ex girlfriend got stared down by other people in the crowd and the some staff in the lower bowl for heckling a Dallas Star twice in the last game I went to ffs, it was pathetic.

This is why I always renew my STH seats in the upper bowl. It's not for affordability reasons, but for quality of fun. Upper bowl is WAY better. It's where the fans who just want to be in the building, anywhere in the building, sit. The lower bowl can be reserved for Joe Blow from Diamond and Diamond trying to close a client, the upper bowl is where people care about winning.

King Heffy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Make the alcohol free zone the place where shushing is ok and keep the rest of the rink rowdy. The security at the WJHC was perfectly reasonable and even got into the game themselves. As a result, the games were a ton of fun to be at.
